Hello I create regularily a photobook with > 300 Pictures in Affinity Publisher. I arrange these photos -- sometimes up to 10 pictures per page -- on the pages of that photobook. Whenever I paste these images from another tool (Luminar -- unfortunately still waiting for a Lightroom competitor / killer from Serif) the pictures will be added to my page in different scales based on their resolution, oftenly they are much to big to fit into the page. Is there any way to automatically with in the drop process scale them down to a size that fits into the page directly without touching every picture separately. In my workflow I drag them over, mark all of them and scale them down manually. Afterwards I bring them into frames to be able to adapt the image focus, scale and fit into my arrangement, the grid, etc... Many thanks for any ideas, hints etc..

I am importing a number of images much larger than work area so I have to re-size a number of times until I can see complete image then move into position. This may be a bug 1) I would like the Drag & Drop to auto size image (on a page with out Picture Frame) as does with 'Place Image' and 'Picture Frame' so it comes inside the bounds of a page with out a frame. Much the same way as Replace image in Picture Frame. Serif PP9 does scale image so you can see the total image if you drag and drop a larger than page image.

I'd like to be able to to select an object, then be able to click and drag its fill or stroke color down into the swatches. Likewise, being able to drag a shape with a certain color into the swatches and it creates a new swatch would be very useful. Maybe there is a way to do something similar to this and I just haven't found it? I've been having the hardest time with creating new swatches.
